Maple Miso Tofu

Maple miso sauce is often paired with black cod. It works just as well with tofu, if not better. This quick dish requires little preparation and is very toddler friendly.

Thanks to Amanda Garbutt for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 block firm tofu, sliced into ½ - inch thick slabs
• ¼ cup white miso (I used brown)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup gluten-free tamari
• 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 1 tablespoons sesame oil
• Sesame seeds
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler to high. Cover a baking sheet with tin foil. Lightly oil the sheet so the tofu does not stick to it.  
2. In a bowl, whisk together the miso, maple syrup, tamari, rice wine vinegar and chili sauce (I skipped the chili sauce so my toddler could eat the dish. I drizzled the chili sauce onto my plate of tofu instead).
3. Arrange the tofu in a single layer and brush with half the marinade. Place under the broiler for 5-8 minutes until browned. Flip the tofu, brush with remaining marinade and broil for another 5-8 minutes until crisp.
4. Remove from the oven and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm.
